Course description...

Course Description:
The course for the Baker's Dozen will start at the Horn Creek trailhead and travel down the campground gravel road. At the stop sign the course turns right onto the paved road. At the next stop sign, the course turns right onto a paved road. This road turns into gravel after 1/4 mile. The course enters Horn Creek Trail on the left after 1/2 mile. The course follows Horn Creek trail all the way back to the same gravel road where you entered the trail. The course then follows the same route back to the trailhead. This is 1 lap.

A lap is about 8 miles long, 6 is singletrack and 2 is gravel/paved. The only place where there will be two-way traffic is on the gravel/paved roads.

When you enter Horn Creek trail (section 2), you will be going slightly downhill over a lot of tree roots and some bridges. There is a little climbing. You will then cross a gravel road and enter a 1 mile climb (section 3). You will then cross another gravel road and enter a very fast section. It starts flat, then goes downhill, more flat area, bridges and then a little climbing (section 4). You will then cross another gravel road. This section (section 5) starts flat where you can get very fast, has bridges, a very sharp right turn on a climb that if you don't make the turn, you will fall into the creek. Then the course climbs for about 1 mile. During this climb, you will pass the trailhead (section 1) and end at the gravel road where you entered the first part of the trail. Head left from the trailhead to the gravel road.
